-D’oh! I went right past that first pic and was looking at the pics in the product description. Will probably stay away from that one anyway.
I really like that Jetbeam BA10, actually came across it earlier.
Also just read about the DQG AA “2-mode Smallest EDC Flashlight” in the review section here. This looks like it does have the glow ring, but a little pricey and looks kind of scarce, only found it for sale on cnqualitygoods.
Too many choices!!! Think I’m going to grab a Thrunite Saber though, $29 shipped looks worth it. I like the stated mode spacing and memory function. Tailstand looks iffy but possible. Then I’ll be bargain hunting for another light or two on Wallbuys when the sale starts. Hopefully it won’t be to tough to DIY something into my ideal EDC.
I’ve heard nothing but good things about the Olights. I didn’t realize the clips were reversible though, missed that somehow… It does get tough keeping them all straight!
Well…that is the currently available model. And am sure it is a fine light. But they just upgraded the AAA model and released it in the past 30 days or so and some are optimistic they will not go and upgrade the AA model.
I see. Thank you for clarifying. The i3s does look like a nice upgrade over the i3. I like that new clip a lot. Might have to pick one of those up as well. Hope they do come out with an i2s. I like all of the color options. Black, black, black can get a little boring.
Thank you! I did find your thread the other day, fantastic work.
Your map led me to the XENO E03. This light, combined with a Fenix LD20 clip is about as close as I’ve come to finding my ideal EDC set up.
Too bad I’ve already caught and released the R5A3, currently have a Balder SE-1, and have the new Thrunite Saber 1A on order. (Not to mention the Fenix LD01 & E01 combo, but this was technically for the wife.) Still, it’s probably only a matter of time ’til I pick up the E03, and an Olight i3s too for good measure.
So much for the $20 budget, lol… I guess that a big bonus of looking for budget items it that you’re not in too much trouble when you go waaaay overboard 0:)
Thanks for the tip. I’m sure it would work in a pinch, but I’d prefer to have something I can just clip right to the brim, no?
Hopefully Olight will follow through with an i2s. A reversible clip seems like such a no brainer to me, it was a surprise to find out how much trouble it is to find what I want…
Dang! I might just change my mind from the Balder HD-1 to the Xeno E03 with the Fenix clip! Argh! I keep changing my mind! Yeah, I searched and found the thread and Fenix clip site, thanks though.
R5-A3 is really nice light eventhough my clip broke and I had to make a new one. I will send a photo soon.
And I just have to mention sk68,too. It is not such quality light in compare to others mentioned in this thread, but it is the most versatile light that I ever had
I bought it from kaidomain and it has the red driver with different mcu in it. I think that there has to be some way to delete strobe on this driver, too but I can’t test it anymore. I gave it away as a gift. Maybe I will buy another someday, I really liked it.
And there was one more thing to do… lens glass was a bit thin so the O-ring wasn’t pressed much. It could be solved easily in two ways - move the pill towards the lens (it is a threaded pill - super easy) or use a thicker glass.
